And then he made a fire for her out of the leftovers of fern roots which had been chewed up and thrown away.

Fern roots were thrown on the fire and allowed to warm up until done in a few minutes. Then they were beaten on a smooth stone with a fern-root beater of bone or yew-wood. The roots were pounded up soft and cut into strips about five inches long, which were then chewed, without the black skin having been removed, as a relish with dried salmon eggs. The chewed out remnants, which had been thrown away and dried up, burned like punk, holding fire for a very long time, even after a rain. They were sometimes used by the Indians for a slow-fire, say in hunting trips.

Indians take fern roots and prepare as food. Roots thrown on fire and allowed to warm up until done in few minutes. Then roots beaten by putting on stone, which is any stone that is smooth and beaten with fern-root beater of bone or yew wood (šiiƛcaaqỷakʷ). (Don't beat roots straight down, but with curving movement down and in from side.) After use, stone and beater are put away in ħuqʷink, so that no one may put "poison" on them. Fern roots pounded up soft, then cut into pieces about 5 in. long and eaten without taking off black skin. Not eaten alone, because you would get stomach ache. Eaten with dried salmon eggs. Not eaten whole; just juice is sucked out, then chewed remnants are thrown away. These burn like punk, holding fire for very long time, even weeks; often survive rain. They were sometimes used by the Indians for a slow-fire, e.g. in hunting.

Indians used to let urine in chamber-pot stay for four days until it was very strong. If one dreams that he himself or his child or wife died he must next morning take the chamber-pot and rub his hair with its contents. If girl during four days of menstrual period touches spear or gun or eats game caught, gun or spear must be rubbed over with the urine, then dried with nettle branches and leaves which are first warmed up. This rule holds for Frank's family and others. Frank hears that other families take some kind of root which they chew and spit on spear, then rub. It was considered an effective method of getting power to wash one's hair with urine that had been in the pot (box-shaped wooden container of red cedar) for four days.
